How do you make direct decals on metal/plastic plated objects?

Like if I had a design (or skin) that I wanted on a plastic/or metal box, how would I do it? You know, kind of like how they make a game system with a (from what it looks) spray painted decoration of a favorite character or something.
How do you make direct decals on metal/plastic plated objects?
what%26#039;s wrong with spray paint? You have to make a mask, just a piece of paper or cardboard. It needs to have all the parts you want to show cut out (which will put some limits on your design). Then spraypaint. The mask will make sure paint goes onto the metal only where you want it. Practice on cardboard before. Make sure the spraypaint is good for use on metal, but most should be.
